海洋科学专业 Defends ‘Supercool’ Sharks

利亚汤森

利亚汤森 would like to put in a good word for a misunderstood creature.

“A bunch of people are scared of sharks,” Townsend said. “他们没有意识到这一点 sharks aren’t out to get them or attack them when they go swimming. 大多数时候, sharks are just doing their thing, and we’re the ones getting in their way.”

She conceded that sharks do look mean. “这让每个人都感到困惑.”

Growing up in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Townsend became obsessed with sea animals while watching Shark Week programs on the Discovery Channel with her dad. 她来到了 十大彩票网投平台 for the marine sciences minor and switched to the major 一旦南方公司创建了它.

She loved the opportunity to take classes at the renowned Dauphin Island Sea Lab. Marine sciences majors spend a Semester at Sea there with the option of living at 实验室. “What really got my attention was being able to be on the island, just surrounded 在水和那种环境中. 这就是吸引我来南方的原因.”

Townsend’s studies at 南 got her interested in two possible career paths: rescuing and rehabilitating marine mammals or researching sharks. 她打算休息一段时间 year between undergraduate and graduate school to gain experience, possibly as a volunteer, 在水族馆或研究机构.
